The U.S. Coast Guard is seeing more Haitian migrants trying to reach the Florida coast by boat. It's a dangerous journey that many do not survive. From the sky, a flight crew surveys roughly 700 miles of open waters, from Miami to Haiti and Cuba. They look for people trying to illegally enter the United States. The route past the Bahamas to south Florida has been attempted by Haitians for decades, but this is the busiest the Coast Guard has been with interceptions since 2004.

Do you believe the 2020 election was stolen? Do you need more evidence? Then watch the “2,000 Mules” movie coming out this week. How powerful is “2,000 Mules”? Why do you think the Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade was leaked right at this exact moment? This is the first Supreme Court decision that has ever been leaked — and it just happened to occur on the eve of the release of “2,000 Mules”? Look who this historic criminal act targets: female voters. It’s no coincidence.

Victor Cuevas' lawyer said the punishment phase for this murder conviction will begin on Wednesday.Victor Cuevas, the man who was at the center of the India the tiger investigation, was found guilty of murder Tuesday in connection to a 2017 shooting in Fort Bend County. Cuevas was found guilty in a deadly shooting that happened the evening of July 14, 2017 in front of a Buffalo Wild Wings in the 5600 block of W. Grand Parkway. Bond was set at $750,000 for that case, and Cuevas was arrested two weeks later at an airport when returning from Mexico. He bonded...

All 22 candidates in Ohio and Indiana endorsed by former President Donald J. Trump completed a clean sweep of Tuesday’s primaries, indicating the strength of a Trump endorsement is as mighty as it has ever been. Former White House political director Brian Jack exclusively tells Breitbart News: What we saw in Texas earlier this year was confirmed yet again tonight: President Trump’s endorsement is the most important endorsement in politics. His endorsed candidates are a combined 55-0 in 2022 primaries, a continuation of the historic endorsement streak of success that started during his time at The White House. Populist candidate...

RUSSIA has accused Israel of supporting neo-Nazis in Ukraine as Moscow doubles down on controversial claims made by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, causing the West to question the "unhinged" comments. Mr Lavrov initially claimed that Adolf Hitler had Jewish origins, which was dismissed by Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid as an “unforgivable falsehood” and slammed the Russian Foreign Minister for minimising the horrors of the Holocaust. However, in a statement on Tuesday, Mr Lavrov hit back, stating that Mr Lapid’s comments were “anti-historical” and “explain to a large extent why the current Israeli government supports the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv”....

In an April 22 statement, Bishop Emeritus Michael D. Pfeifer, of San Angelo, Texas, called on his fellow bishops to do more to correct Biden and others who reject the sanctity of human life, according to the Catholic News Agency. “If abortion is really the preeminent life issues as we bishops say it is, then we must hold President Biden accountable for his pro-abortion extremism, calling out Biden in a proper pastoral manner, for his anti-Catholic pro-abortion policies,” Pfeifer said. Pfeifer said he felt compelled to speak out after noticing that Biden’s 2023 budget proposal excludes the Hyde Amendment, a...

"Look, think what Roe says. Roe says what all basic mainstream religions have historically concluded — that the right — that the existence of a human life and being is a question. Is it at the moment of conception? Is it six months? Is it six weeks?” (Biden Quote)

[If I understand correctly, in Texas Primary and Run-off elections, the County Executive Committee (the Precinct Chairmen, plus the Party Chairman of a political party) can select the method for conducting the election: paper ballots only, or electronic machines. AHEM! Is anyone listening? Precinct Chairmen can switch the voting in their political party in their county to paper only ballots during the primary and run-off elections!!! The primary is at least as important as the general election, because that is when we have a chance to select an America first candidate. Otherwise, it'll probably be selecting either a RINO or...

Strange, isn't it? Mask mandates mostly disappeared just as the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. Thousands of blue over yellow Ukrainian flags appeared coast to coast and border to border within days of that invasion. Anyone remotely acquainted with logistics and supply chains knows that materials in such quantities can't magically appear withn hours or days. Who knew in advance? And when? And why? And now just as suddenly the Ukraine-Russian war has all but vanished from the news just as the SCOTUS "leak" captures the headlines. Thousands of "spontaneous demonstrators" (think "Animal Farm") converge on the SCOTUS armed with...

Lyft and Uber said this week they will fully cover legal fees for their respective drivers who are sued under Oklahoma’s anticipated restrictive abortion law. The Oklahoma House on Thursday passed the Texas-style ban that prohibits most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, a time period before many women have even discovered they’re pregnant. The so-called Oklahoma Heartbeat Act now goes to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who is expected to sign it within days. Like the Texas law, people aiding the procedure, including doctors, people paying for the procedure and clinic workers are at risk. That includes rideshare drivers...

Some things about Russia’s Special Military Operation in Ukraine: 1.It has been reported by CNN, and I have felt the same way for some time as well, that Russia may declare war on Ukraine. I assume that if that were to happen we would see massive destruction of the infrastructure in Western Ukraine including all communications infrastructure, electrical generation, bridges, rail, etc. Russia has really been soft with Ukraine so far in an effort to protect innocent Ukrainians but the ongoing killing and abuse of Eastern Ukrainians by Ukrainonazis hiding among civilians may be too much to bear. 2.I dream...

Nice short lecture and Father Spyridon is very well thought of in Orthodox circles

A Wisconsin Democratic lawmaker was criticized over social media for using the term "birthing bodies" instead of women while tweeting about the potential reversal of Roe V. Wade. State Rep. Francesca Hong made the substitution in a Monday evening tweet following the news of the leak of an alleged draft of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's majority opinion to revoke the landmark 1973 case. Since the leak, many Democrats have reaffirmed their pro-choice stance. Birthing bodies have the right to freedom. Deciding if or when to become a parent is one of the most personal, life-changing decisions," Hong tweeted....

Donald Trump’s candidate for Tennessee’s 5th Congressional district has scrubbed the former President from her campaign website, and appears to be in the middle of abandoning her run for Congress.Ortagus’s Twitter biography has changed in recent weeks, since she was first removed from the ballot by the Tennessee GOP under rules concerning Republican bonafides. Other removed candidates are challenging the rules in federal court.) But Ortagus’s website, which featured multiple endorsements and mentions of former President Donald Trump, is now a simple landing page with the tag line, “Thank You” on a browser tab.

Basic Question to my fellow Freepers: How would a Supreme Court ruling overturning parts of Roe V Wade affect Novembers elections? (try answering based on what you objectively think the outcome will be & not based on what you hope happens)😉

Victoria Hammett was goofing off while watching a live stream of The Met Gala on Monday night when she saw the news. Politico published a leaked draft opinion indicating the Supreme Court would overturn the constitutional right to abortion enshrined in Roe v. Wade. Within minutes, Hammett, 23, the deputy executive director for non-profit activist group Gen-Z For Change, was on a call planning how she and others could fight back. The group is made up of members from the Gen-Z generation, which Pew Research defines as anyone born after 1997. “We were all texting each other immediately," Hammett said....

HARRISBURG — The outcome of the Pennsylvania governor’s race could determine the future of legal abortion access in the state, which is uncertain following the leak of a draft U.S. Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade. Such a decision would leave how, where, and why someone could get a legal abortion, if at all, up to each state’s legislature and governor. All nine of the Republican gubernatorial candidates in Pennsylvania support additional abortion restrictions, and at least five would seek a complete ban with no exceptions. Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, a former Planned Parenthood clinic escort who...

The drive to declare a “climate emergency” has swept much of the world. According to the Climate Emergency Declaration website:“2,094 jurisdictions in 38 countries have declared a climate emergency. Populations covered by jurisdictions that have declared a climate emergency amount to over 1 billion citizens.”But the “emergency” is nowhere to be found in the real world.After all, the so-called “Global Average Temperature” has only risen about 1.2 degrees Celsius since 1880 despite a nearly 50% rise in CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Yet, it was during this period when one would expect the most temperature increase due to CO2 rise....

Millions of women in more than 25 states face an abortion ban if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that legalized the procedure nationwide. For many of those women, employers’ benefit packages may be the only way they can soon afford a legal abortion. Amazon became the latest corporation to cover employees’ travel costs to seek abortion care. The company told staff it would pay up to $4,000 in travel expenses annually for medical treatments including abortions, according to a message seen by Reuters. An Amazon spokesperson confirmed the nature of the Reuters report to...
